MG refreshed the entire ZT range in 2004, and that included the station wagon version for it, named ZT-T, but that didn't help too much.
Three years after it was introduced on the market, the ZT-T still couldn't find enough customers to keep it alive. Sales were slow, and the management tried to make the car looks better. Rover initially developed the car under BMW ownership. After its divorce from the German carmaker, the small British company struggled to survive, and it just didn't have enough money to do a big change.
On the facelifted version, the carmaker introduced a new front fascia. Its formerly used double headlamps system was dropped and replaced by single units, clear-lens, headlights. The bumper had to be changed to match their new design, but there were just slight differences. At the back, the badge was moved from the right to the center-bottom area.
Inside, the car sported white-faced dials in the instrument cluster in a retro-style design theme. Its front bucket seats offered good bolstering on the sides since the MG was tuned for sportier drivers. In the back, the carmaker kept the same 60/40 split-folding bench that expanded the trunk from 400 liters (14.1 cu-ft) with the seats up to 1222 liters (43.1 cu-ft) with the bench folded down.
Under the hood, MG ZT-T offered a choice of four gasoline engines and one turbo-diesel. The latest addition was the 4.7-liter Ford V-8 engine, which sent the power to the rear wheels. All other engine versions were front-wheel-drive only. MG stiffened the suspension for the ZT by 70% when compared to its sibling, the Rover 75.
